Located off Whitney Avenue, you are minutes to Yale and all New Haven has to offer, yet minutes away to the Hamden Plaza and shopping. Walk to bus stop or quaint stores and restaurants. This property is somewhat unique in that the first floor is two bedroom one bath and the second floor and attic were combined to create a three bedroom two bath unit with the entire third floor a huge master bedroom suite and full bath.
